More Episodes

In this weeks episode, we will have the part two of Dr. Mark Gordon's episode.

Dr. Gordon continues to shed light on how hormonal imbalances can exacerbate neuroinflammation, leading to prolonged recovery and chronic symptoms. We explore the importance of testing and optimizing hormones like growth hormone, IGF-1, IGF-BP3, estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, and pregnenolone to support brain health and recovery after traumatic and non traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Additionally, we delve into how environmental toxins and viruses can trigger or worsen neuroinflammation, impacting overall neurological health.

Key Discussion Points:

1. Understanding the Role of Hormones in Brain Health
- How hormones like growth hormone, IGF-1, and IGF-BP3 are involved in brain repair and neuroprotection.
- The connection between estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, and pregnenolone in maintaining cognitive function and mood stability.
- Why hormonal imbalances are common after brain injuries and how they contribute to prolonged neuroinflammation.

2. Growth Hormone and Brain Injuries
- The role of growth hormone in promoting neurogenesis and repairing neural tissues.
- How low levels of growth hormone can impede recovery from TBI and other brain injuries.
- Dr. Gordon's approach to assessing and optimizing growth hormone levels for brain health.

3. IGF-1 and IGF-BP3: Key Players in Neuroprotection
- How IGF-1 supports brain cell survival and reduces inflammation.
- The significance of IGF-BP3 in regulating IGF-1 activity and its therapeutic potential in TBI.
- Strategies for boosting IGF-1 levels naturally and through medical intervention.

4. The Impact of Sex Hormones on Brain Function
- Estrogen's neuroprotective effects and its role in reducing neuroinflammation.
- Testosterone's influence on brain health, cognition, and emotional regulation.
- The benefits of DHEA and pregnenolone in supporting adrenal function and overall hormonal balance.

5. Environmental Toxins, Viruses, and Neuroinflammation
- How exposure to environmental toxins can trigger or exacerbate neuroinflammation.
- The role of chronic viral infections in contributing to ongoing brain inflammation and hormonal dysregulation.
- Dr. Gordon's insights into detoxification strategies and immune support for reducing neuroinflammation.

6. Testing and Optimizing Hormones for Brain Health
- The importance of comprehensive hormonal testing in individuals with TBI or chronic neuroinflammation.
- Dr. Gordon's protocol for optimizing hormone levels to support brain recovery and cognitive function.
- How to work with healthcare providers to develop a personalized hormone optimization plan.
